Meaning of UPHILL BATTLE and IT'S ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE - A Short English Lesson with Subtitles

READ ALONG TO PRACTICE YOUR ENGLISH: So in English, an uphill battle is any situation that is really, really difficult. Of course, a real battle is when armies fight against each other, and when you run or walk uphill it's hard. But when we use these two words together, when we say that something is an uphill battle, it means that we are in a situation in life that is really, really difficult. Sometimes after you have surgery, after you have an operation, it can be an uphill battle to get back to full health. Sometimes when you lose your job and you no longer have any income, and you have very little money, it could be an uphill battle in your life in order to find a new job and to start to have some income again. So in English, when you say something is an uphill battle, it means that you feel like you're at the bottom of a hill and you feel like you need to fight your way to get to the top of the hill. I hope none of you are experiencing any uphill battles in your life right now. The flip side of that is, sometimes in English we say it's all downhill from here. This can have two meanings though. Sometimes when you say it's all downhill from here, you mean that things are going to get easier. Maybe at work you worked on a really big project and all of the hard parts are done, and because only the easy parts are left you could say, "Ah, it's all downhill from here." But this can also mean that things are going to get worse. So maybe your parents have figured out that your report card from school, that your grades from school are really low and you know that you're going to get grounded, that's when your parents don't let you out anymore, you could say that, "Oh my parents saw my report card "and now it's all downhill from here." So, hopefully you're not fighting uphill battles, hopefully if you use the phrase it's all downhill from here, it's because life is getting easier.
